If you haven’t closed in the other side add another support above the center of door. It’s gonna sag over time if not because it wasn’t framed correctly.

Normally you double up 2x4s at a door frame, that way your header sits on top of the 2x4 instead of nailed into the sides. Also helps with your door way wanting to budge wide over time.

You bring up a valid point and I thought of that myself. In fact I was thinking about buying some rolls of mylar and lining the walls and calling it good. I could still very well go that route.

Clip the cable ties off your fishing outfits and tighten reels down. That’s done so customers won’t be tempted to steal reels when on display at stores

header also known as a lintel is only required for exterior openings, if you put enough brad nails and shim the door correctly the door will never budge over time.

i header is for exterior walls so as to transfer the load. roof load/snow load -> exterior wall -> lintel/header -> jackstuds -> floor joists -> foundation wall -> footings.
if your talking about the lumber to screw drywall to above the door that is not a header/lintel.
